Vehicles in Germany's Town Found Covered with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Report

Local Law Enforcement

Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.

Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.

Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.

The substance had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.

Officers then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.

Police report early analysis suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no indication as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.

Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.

A senior official said the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.

"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
