Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important political figure commented the vandalism made him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
