Automobiles in German Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack rendered him speechless and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
