Automobiles in German Town Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack rendered him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
