Vehicles in German City Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Report
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then found numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior representative stated the vandalism left him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
