Cars in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
