Local Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack rendered him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
