Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
A senior political figure said the attack left him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
