Cars in German City Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are currently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
An important official stated the vandalism left him without words and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
