Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located multiple other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism made him speechless and had to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
