Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important representative said the attack made him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
