Vehicles in Germany's City Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered many other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important representative stated the attack rendered him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
