Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack rendered him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
