Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him speechless and required to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
