Automobiles in German City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure said the incident rendered him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
