Vehicles in German Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Authorities mentioned they were alerted by a individual who noticed a car in Hanau covered with reddish fluid

Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.

Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.

Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.

The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.

Police then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.

Officials report initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.

"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.

Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.

A high-ranking official stated the attack left him without words and required to be resolved quickly.

"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
