Automobiles in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Local Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located multiple other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior representative stated the incident left him stunned and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
