Automobiles in German Town Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then located multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for details.
A senior political figure said the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
