Vehicles in Germany's Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Report
Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other smeared cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important official stated the attack left him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
