Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior official commented the vandalism left him speechless and had to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
