Cars in Germany's City Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Human Blood, Law Enforcement Report

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Officers reported they were contacted by a individual who discovered a car in Hanau covered with red-colored fluid

Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.

Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.

Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.

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

Law enforcement then found many other smeared cars and house walls in the surrounding area.

These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.

"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the event," they stated.

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

A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism left him without words and required to be resolved quickly.

"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
