Automobiles in German Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A senior representative said the incident left him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in 2020.
