Vehicles in Germany's City Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Report

Local Law Enforcement

Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.

Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.

Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.

The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.

Officers then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.

Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.

Officials report initial examinations indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.

"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.

City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.

A high-ranking official said the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.

"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
