Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
An important official stated the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
