Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for information.
An important political figure said the incident left him without words and required to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
