Cars in German City Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police State
Area Police
Around fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
An important representative stated the incident made him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
