Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered many other marked cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior official said the vandalism left him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
