Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important political figure stated the vandalism left him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
