Automobiles in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Police Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for details.
An important political figure commented the attack made him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
