Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior political figure said the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
