Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located multiple other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior official commented the vandalism made him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
