Vehicles in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Area Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
An important official stated the attack made him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
