Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
