Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior representative commented the vandalism made him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
