Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
