Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior political figure commented the attack rendered him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
