Vehicles in Germany's City Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Officers mentioned they were notified by a resident who noticed a automobile in Hanau smeared with reddish fluid

Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.

Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.

Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.

The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.

Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.

Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.

"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.

Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.

An important official commented the vandalism left him without words and required to be addressed promptly.

"This event hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
