Vehicles in German City Found Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police State
Area Police
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
