Automobiles in Germany's City Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
