Cars in German City Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for information.
An important political figure said the incident left him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
