Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located many other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
An important political figure commented the attack left him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
