Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Police
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis show the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important representative said the attack made him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
