Cars in German Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Law Enforcement State

Incident location Affected vehicle Local Police
Authorities reported they were alerted by a resident who found a car in Hanau covered with red-colored substance

Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.

Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.

Police say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.

The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.

Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.

Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement state early analysis show the substance was probably blood from a person.

"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they added.

Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for information.

An important representative said the attack made him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.

"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
