Cars in German Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him stunned and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
