Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important official said the vandalism made him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
