Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; authorities are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the incident left him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
