Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the attack left him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
