Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior representative stated the attack rendered him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
