Automobiles in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis indicate the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
An important political figure stated the incident made him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of migrant background in five years prior.
