Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the substance was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior official said the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
