Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack left him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of migrant background in 2020.
