Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism made him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
