Cars in Germany's City Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Police
Around 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important political figure stated the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
