Cars in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Report

Officers mentioned they were alerted by a individual who discovered a vehicle in Hanau marked with reddish substance

Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.

Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.

Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.

The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.

Police then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.

Police state preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.

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

Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.

An important political figure said the attack made him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.

"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
