Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
A senior official commented the vandalism made him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
