Local Police
Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located many other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure said the attack left him without words and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
