Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack left him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
