Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered many other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking official said the incident left him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
