Vehicles in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important official stated the attack left him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
