Cars in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for information.
An important political figure commented the attack made him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in February 2020.
