Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important representative commented the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
