Cars in German City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Area Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
