Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found many other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism left him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in 2020.
