Local Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
An important official stated the vandalism made him without words and had to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
