Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
