Local Police
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A high-ranking representative said the attack made him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
