Local Police
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior political figure said the attack left him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
