Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted 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 red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior political figure commented the attack left him without words and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
