Automobiles in German Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.
An important representative stated the incident rendered him stunned and had to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
