Automobiles in German Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior official said the incident left him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
