Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior official stated the vandalism made him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
