Cars in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then found numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the incident rendered him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in 2020.
