Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Confirm
Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located many other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident left him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
