Vehicles in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism made him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
