Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis show the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
