Vehicles in German City Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Police Report

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Authorities reported they were contacted by a individual who discovered a car in Hanau covered with red-colored fluid

Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.

Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.

Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.

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

Officers then located multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.

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

Police state initial examinations indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.

City officials said they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.

A high-ranking official commented the vandalism made him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.

"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of migrant background in five years prior.
