Vehicles in German Town Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the incident made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
