Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior political figure said the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
