Vehicles in German Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking official commented the incident rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
