Automobiles in Germany's Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him without words and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
