Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found many other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the incident made him speechless and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
