Cars in German City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior political figure said the attack left him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
