Local Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
A senior official commented the vandalism left him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
