Vehicles in Germany's City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located many other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important representative commented the attack left him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
