Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism made him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
