Automobiles in Germany's City Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Police
Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then found multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
An important official said the incident rendered him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
