Local Police
Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important representative stated the vandalism made him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
