Cars in Germany's City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important political figure commented the vandalism made him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
