Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Confirm
Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior political figure said the attack made him without words and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
