Cars in Germany's Town Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State

Area Police

Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.

Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.

Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.

The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.

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

These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.

Law enforcement state initial examinations show the fluid was probably human blood.

"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.

Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.

A senior political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.

"This event hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
