Area Police
Around 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests show the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they added.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism made him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
