🔗 Share this article Automobiles in Germany's Town Discovered Smeared with Nazi Symbols in Blood, Police Confirm Area Law Enforcement Authorities stated they were contacted by a man who discovered a automobile in Hanau smeared with reddish fluid Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities. Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement. Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid. The substance had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated. Police then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood. Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era. Police say initial examinations show the fluid was likely blood from a person. "Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they added. City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips. An important political figure commented the incident left him speechless and needed to be solved promptly. "This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
