Vehicles in German Town Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis show the fluid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
An important political figure stated the attack made him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
