Vehicles in German Town Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Area Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for details.
An important representative stated the vandalism made him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
