Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important political figure commented the attack made him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
