Cars in Germany's Town Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important official said the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
