Local Police
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack made him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
