Cars in German Town Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Police State
Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
A senior official commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
