Automobiles in German Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Report
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack left him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in 2020.
