Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then located many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
A high-ranking official commented the attack left him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in 2020.
