Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
