Automobiles in German Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official said the attack rendered him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
