Automobiles in German City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then located many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism made him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
