Local Police
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking official commented the incident left him without words and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in 2020.
