Cars in Germany's City Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Area Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack left him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
