Vehicles in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Police
Around 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack rendered him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
