Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior political figure stated the incident left him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
