Vehicles in German City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior representative commented the incident rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
