Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered many other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.
An important official commented the vandalism left him stunned and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
