Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Police
Around 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important representative said the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
