Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police State
Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then found numerous other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in association with the event," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official stated the vandalism left him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
