Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the incident left him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
