Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found many other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior official said the vandalism left him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
