Automobiles in German Town Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Local Police
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior official commented the incident made him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
