Automobiles in German Town Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis show the substance was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official said the attack made him stunned and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
