Cars in Germany's City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking official commented the attack rendered him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
