Vehicles in Germany's City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important representative commented the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
