Cars in Germany's City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism left him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
