Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack left him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
