Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located many other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident rendered him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
