Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Local Police
Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior official commented the vandalism left him stunned and had to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in 2020.
