Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found numerous other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
