Automobiles in German City Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
A senior representative said the incident made him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
