Automobiles in German Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis indicate the substance was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior political figure commented the attack left him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
