Vehicles in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then located many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
