Automobiles in German City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Police
Around fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking official stated the incident left him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
