Cars in German City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
An important official stated the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
