Vehicles in German Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement State

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Authorities mentioned they were contacted by a resident who discovered a vehicle in Hanau marked with reddish liquid

Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.

Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.

Police report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.

The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.

Officers then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement say early analysis suggest 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 incident," they commented.

Local authorities stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for information.

An important political figure said the incident left him without words and had to be addressed promptly.

"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
