Vehicles in Germany's City Found Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior representative stated the attack made him stunned and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
