Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A high-ranking official commented the attack left him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
