Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack left him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
