Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the substance was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack left him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
