Automobiles in German Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
A senior representative said the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be solved promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
