Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior representative said the vandalism left him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
