Vehicles in German Town Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Area Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
An important official commented the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
