Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state early analysis show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.
A senior political figure said the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
