Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis show the substance was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking official said the vandalism made him without words and had to be resolved promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
