Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Police Report
Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important official said the attack made him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
