Local Police
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking official stated the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
