Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
