Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Area Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking official commented the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in 2020.
