Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
