Cars in Germany's City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative said the incident rendered him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
