Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism made him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of migrant background in 2020.
