Vehicles in German Town Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Report
Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important representative said the vandalism left him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
