Area Police
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then found numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior representative stated the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
