Vehicles in Germany's City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Area Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests show the fluid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for information.
A senior official said the attack left him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
