Cars in German Town Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important representative commented the vandalism left him without words and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
