Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
An important official commented the vandalism made him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
