Vehicles in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State

Local Law Enforcement

Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.

Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.

Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.

The substance had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.

Officers then discovered many other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.

Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human blood.

"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.

Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for information.

A high-ranking representative stated the attack made him stunned and needed to be addressed quickly.

"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
