Vehicles in Germany's City Found Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Police
Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state preliminary tests show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior political figure said the incident made him stunned and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
