Vehicles in German Town Found Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Police Confirm

Authorities stated they were contacted by a man who discovered a car in Hanau smeared with red-colored substance

Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.

Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.

Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.

The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.

Police then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

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

"There is still no indication as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.

Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.

An important representative stated the vandalism left him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.

"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
