Vehicles in Germany's City Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Police Report
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the substance was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important representative commented the attack left him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
