Vehicles in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Confirm

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Authorities stated they were notified by a individual who discovered a automobile in Hanau smeared with reddish substance

Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.

Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.

Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.

The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.

Law enforcement then discovered multiple other marked cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.

Police say initial examinations show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.

"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.

Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.

An important official said the attack left him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.

"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
