Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the fluid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for tips.
An important representative stated the vandalism made him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
