Cars in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior representative stated the attack rendered him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
