Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
