Vehicles in German City Found Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for information.
An important official commented the incident made him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in 2020.
