Automobiles in Germany's City Found Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for information.
A high-ranking official commented the attack rendered him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
