Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack made him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
