Automobiles in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found many other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
An important political figure said the attack made him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
