Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then found many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
