Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police state initial examinations show the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking official said the incident left him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
