Cars in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations show the liquid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
A high-ranking official stated the incident left him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
