Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located many other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
