Cars in German Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Local Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure commented the attack made him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
