Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.
An important political figure stated the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
