Automobiles in German Town Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
