Vehicles in German Town Discovered Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Police reported they were alerted by a man who found a car in Hanau smeared with red-colored fluid

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

Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.

Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.

The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.

Officers then found numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.

Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human blood.

"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they added.

Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for information.

An important political figure commented the vandalism made him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.

"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
