Cars in German City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Report
Area Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important representative commented the attack left him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
