Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.
Police then located many other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior representative commented the incident rendered him stunned and needed to be solved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
