Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police State
Area Police
Around 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located many other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important official commented the incident made him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
