Vehicles in German City Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior representative said the incident left him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
