Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Confirm
Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.
An important political figure commented the incident left him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
