Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
