Vehicles in German Town Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Area Police
Around fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important political figure said the incident made him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
