Cars in Germany's Town Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Police Confirm
Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found multiple other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis show the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior official said the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
