Vehicles in German City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other smeared cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official stated the vandalism left him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of migrant background in 2020.
