Automobiles in German City Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
An important political figure stated the incident made him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
