Local Police
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found many other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police state initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important representative stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
