Cars in German City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then located multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important representative commented the incident made him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
