Area Police
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
