Cars in German City Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Report
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
