Local Police
Around fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
