Cars in German City Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then located numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis show the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism left him without words and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
