Area Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests show the substance was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack left him stunned and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
