Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the substance was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the incident made him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
