Automobiles in German City Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A senior representative stated the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
