Vehicles in German Town Found Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Law Enforcement
Authorities reported they were notified by a individual who noticed a automobile in Hanau covered with reddish liquid

Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.

Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.

Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.

The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.

Police then found numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

Officials report preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.

"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.

City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.

A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism made him without words and required to be solved promptly.

"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
