Automobiles in Germany's City Found Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Officers reported they were contacted by a resident who noticed a car in Hanau marked with red-colored substance

Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.

Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.

Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.

The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.

Law enforcement then located many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.

Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.

Local authorities stated they were working "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.

A high-ranking representative commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed quickly.

"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
