Cars in Germany's City Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important representative commented the incident made him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
