Cars in German City Found Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement State

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Police stated they were alerted by a resident who found a automobile in Hanau covered with red-colored substance

Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.

Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.

Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.

The substance had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.

Police then located numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.

"At present there remains no indication as to its source; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.

Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.

A high-ranking official stated the incident left him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.

"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
