Automobiles in German City Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Report
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
A senior political figure stated the attack rendered him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
