Automobiles in German City Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Police report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important official said the incident made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
