Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack left him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of migrant background in February 2020.
