Cars in Germany's Town Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis show the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the incident made him speechless and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
