Cars in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Confirm
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the attack left him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
