Automobiles in German City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack left him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
