Automobiles in German Town Found Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm
Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations show the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack rendered him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
