Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking official commented the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
