Cars in Germany's Town Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers 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 smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations show the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
