Local Police
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
