Vehicles in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police say they were contacted late 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 swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior representative stated the vandalism left him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
