Area Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior political figure commented the attack left him without words and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
