Vehicles in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
