Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for information.
An important official commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
