Vehicles in German Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Police
Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the incident left him speechless and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
