Cars in German Town Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Area Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the incident left him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
