Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
An important representative commented the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
