Automobiles in Germany's Town Found Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior official stated the incident left him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
