Automobiles in Germany's City Found Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack rendered him speechless and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
