Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for information.
An important political figure said the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
