Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered many other smeared cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism made him speechless and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in 2020.
