Vehicles in German City Found Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Report
Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the vandalism left him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
