Area Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
