Vehicles in Germany's City Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior political figure said the attack left him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
