Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Marked with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Police Confirm

Area Law Enforcement

Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.

Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.

Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.

The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.

Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.

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

"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they stated.

Local authorities announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.

An important official commented the vandalism left him without words and required to be solved promptly.

"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in February 2020.
