Cars in German Town Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official stated the vandalism left him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
