Vehicles in German City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
A senior representative stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
