Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then located multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for information.
An important official stated the attack rendered him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
