Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior official commented the attack left him stunned and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
