Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips.
An important representative commented the incident made him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
