Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
