Automobiles in German Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior representative stated the incident left him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
