Vehicles in German Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Police
Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure stated the attack rendered him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
