Automobiles in Germany's City Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Police
Approximately 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine people by a shooter aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
