Area Police
Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism made him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
