Vehicles in German Town Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the incident left him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
