Vehicles in German Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement State

Local Police

Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.

Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.

Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.

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

Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.

These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.

Police report initial examinations indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.

"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they added.

City officials announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for details.

A high-ranking political figure said the incident made him without words and had to be solved quickly.

"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
