Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then located multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior official stated the incident made him stunned and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
