Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism left him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
