Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the attack made him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
