Cars in German City Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure commented the attack left him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
