Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
