Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior official said the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
