Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state early analysis show the substance was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important official commented the attack made him stunned and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
