Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important official said the vandalism left him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
