Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
