Automobiles in German Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important representative stated the vandalism made him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
