Automobiles in Germany's Town Found Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State

Local Law Enforcement

Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.

Vehicles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.

Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.

The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.

Officers then located multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.

Officials say early analysis indicate the substance was probably human blood.

"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.

Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for details.

An important representative commented the incident left him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.

"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
