Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important political figure said the vandalism left him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
