Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior representative stated the attack rendered him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
