Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important official stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be addressed promptly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
