Cars in German City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
A senior representative said the vandalism left him speechless and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
