Vehicles in German Town Found Marked with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Report

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Officers reported they were contacted by a resident who found a automobile in Hanau marked with red-colored substance

Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.

Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.

Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.

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

Law enforcement then located numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.

Police state initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.

"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they added.

Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.

A senior representative said the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be resolved quickly.

"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
