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

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Authorities stated they were contacted by a resident who found a car in Hanau marked with red-colored fluid

Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.

Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.

Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.

The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.

Police then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.

Officials report early analysis indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.

"At present there remains no clue as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.

Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the public for tips.

An important political figure commented the incident rendered him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.

"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
