Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack made him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
