Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A senior official commented the incident left him speechless and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
