Automobiles in Germany's City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
