Area Police
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official commented the incident rendered him speechless and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
