Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking official stated the vandalism left him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
