Local Police
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; officials are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
