Cars in German Town Found Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the public for details.
An important representative said the incident rendered him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
