Automobiles in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Report
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important official said the incident left him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
