Vehicles in Germany's City Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior official stated the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in 2020.
