Vehicles in German City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state preliminary tests show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine people by a shooter focusing on residents of migrant background in 2020.
