Automobiles in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
An important official commented the attack made him stunned and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
