Automobiles in Germany's City Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Report

Incident location Affected vehicle Local Police
Officers stated they were alerted by a resident who discovered a car in Hanau smeared with reddish substance

Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.

Officers state they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.

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

Law enforcement then found numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement report early analysis indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.

"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.

City officials announced they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for details.

An important political figure commented the incident rendered him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.

"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
