Cars in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Police Confirm
Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior representative stated the attack rendered him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
