Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking representative said the incident made him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
