Vehicles in German City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are not yet informed of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism made him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
