Vehicles in Germany's City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior representative stated the incident rendered him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in 2020.
