Automobiles in Germany's City Found Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Confirm
Area Police
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important representative commented the attack left him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
