Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official stated the attack made him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
