Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack left him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
