Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then found numerous other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
A senior political figure stated the incident rendered him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
