Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior official stated the vandalism made him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
