Local Police
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered many other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important representative stated the vandalism made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
