Cars in Germany's City Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Area Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior political figure said the incident made him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
