Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him without words and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
