Vehicles in Germany's City Found Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Police stated they were notified by a individual who noticed a vehicle in Hanau covered with red-colored substance

Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.

Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.

The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.

Law enforcement then discovered many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.

Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.

A high-ranking official said the attack rendered him without words and needed to be solved promptly.

"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
