Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles 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 police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they added.
City officials said they were working "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident made him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he stated on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
