Cars in German Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior representative said the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
