Automobiles in German Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Officers reported they were alerted by a individual who discovered a vehicle in Hanau marked with red-colored substance

Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.

Vehicles, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.

Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.

The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.

Police then located many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.

Law enforcement state early analysis show the fluid was probably human blood.

"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.

City officials said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.

An important representative said the attack made him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.

"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
