Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior political figure stated the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
