Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior representative commented the vandalism made him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
