Automobiles in Germany's City Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state early analysis suggest the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important representative stated the incident made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
