Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important official commented the incident rendered him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
