Vehicles in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism left him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
