Vehicles in German Town Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located multiple other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism made him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
