Automobiles in German City Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Confirm

Area Police

Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.

Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.

Law enforcement state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.

The substance had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.

Police then found many other marked cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.

Officials report early analysis indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.

"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.

Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.

A senior representative said the attack rendered him without words and needed to be addressed quickly.

"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
