Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Report
Area Police
Around fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located multiple other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
An important political figure said the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
