Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the fluid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
