Cars in German Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine victims by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
