Cars in German Town Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm

Area Law Enforcement

Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.

Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.

Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.

The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.

Officers then located multiple other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.

Police state preliminary tests show the substance was most likely blood from a person.

"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.

Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.

An important representative said the vandalism made him without words and required to be solved promptly.

"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
