Automobiles in German Town Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Local Police
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking official stated the attack made him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
