Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Police Confirm
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in association with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior representative commented the attack made him without words and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
