Cars in German Town Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State

Local Police

Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.

Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.

Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.

The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.

Officers then discovered many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.

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

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

"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.

Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.

A high-ranking representative stated the attack rendered him without words and needed to be solved quickly.

"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
