Cars in German City Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered many other marked cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
