Vehicles in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police State
Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important representative said the attack rendered him stunned and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
