Cars in German City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
