Local Police
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then found numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important political figure stated the vandalism made him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
