Area Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior official commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
