Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered many other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior political figure stated the attack rendered him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
