Vehicles in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then found numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are not yet aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
