Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations show the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are currently not informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
An important political figure stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
