Local Police

Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.

Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.

The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.

Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.

"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.

Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.

A senior official commented the incident rendered him without words and had to be addressed promptly.

"This event hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in 2020.
