Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking official stated the vandalism left him stunned and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
