🔗 Share this article Automobiles in German Town Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Police Confirm Area Law Enforcement Officers mentioned they were notified by a resident who found a car in Hanau marked with reddish substance Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities. Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication. Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid. The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added. Officers then found numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area. Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols. Officials state early analysis indicate the fluid was probably human blood. "There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented. Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for information. A senior official said the incident rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly. "This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
