Vehicles in German Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report
Area Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests show the liquid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials said they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important official commented the incident left him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
