Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis show the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the incident rendered him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
