Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior political figure stated the attack made him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a gunman aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
