Cars in German Town Found Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Police Confirm

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

Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.

Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.

The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.

Officers then found numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.

Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.

Officials state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.

"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.

Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.

An important representative stated the incident rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.

"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
