Vehicles in German City Found Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior official said the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
