Vehicles in German City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police State
Area Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack rendered him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in 2020.
