Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident made him speechless and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
