Cars in German Town Found Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Area Police
Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then located many other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism made him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
