Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
