Cars in German City Found Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
An important representative commented the attack made him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
