Vehicles in Germany's City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important official said the attack made him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
