Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for details.
An important official said the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
