Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Report

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Police reported they were alerted by a individual who noticed a car in Hanau covered with reddish fluid

Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.

Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.

The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.

Law enforcement then located numerous other smeared cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.

Police report initial examinations show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.

"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in association with the event," they stated.

City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for tips.

A senior representative said the attack rendered him stunned and had 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 social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
