Automobiles in German City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Area Police
Around fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then found multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for information.
An important representative commented the attack made him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
