Cars in German Town Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Police
Around fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack left him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
