Automobiles in German Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A high-ranking official said the incident rendered him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
