Vehicles in German City Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
