Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis show the fluid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
A senior political figure stated the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
