Automobiles in German City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism made him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
