Vehicles in Germany's City Found Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.
An important political figure commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
