Cars in Germany's Town Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then located multiple other marked cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior representative stated the incident rendered him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
