Automobiles in Germany's Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then found many other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important political figure stated the vandalism made him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
