Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack left him speechless and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of migrant background in 2020.
