Automobiles in Germany's City Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the substance was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack rendered him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
