Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Report
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
An important political figure stated the incident left him stunned and had to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
