Vehicles in German City Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Area Police
Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior official said the incident rendered him stunned and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in 2020.
