Automobiles in German City Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other marked cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack left him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
