Cars in Germany's City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then located many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
