Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement. Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid. The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated. Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area. Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols. Officials say preliminary tests show the liquid was probably blood from a person. "There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they added. Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips. A high-ranking political figure stated the incident made him without words and had to be resolved rapidly. "This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of migrant background in 2020.
