Automobiles in Germany's City Found Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important official said the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
