Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior official commented the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
