Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Police
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found many other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important political figure said the attack left him speechless and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
