Cars in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Police
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then found multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
