Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior official commented the attack left him without words and had to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
