Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack left him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
