Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
An important representative said the attack rendered him speechless and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in five years prior.
