Cars in Germany's Town Found Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Police Report

Local Police

Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.

Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.

The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.

Officers then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.

"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.

Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for tips.

An important political figure commented the attack left him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.

"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of migrant background in February 2020.
