Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis show the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips.
An important political figure commented the vandalism made him without words and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
