Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, 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 form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the incident rendered him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
