Automobiles in Germany's City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important official stated the incident made him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
