Cars in German Town Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Police Report
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis show the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important representative stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
