Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then discovered many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior representative commented the vandalism made him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
