Automobiles in Germany's City Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
An important political figure said the incident left him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
