Cars in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
An important official said the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
