Automobiles in German Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located many other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism left him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
