Cars in German Town Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the fluid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.
A senior representative stated the attack made him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
