Cars in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
An important official stated the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in February 2020.
