Vehicles in German Town Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Police Report
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important representative commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
