Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior representative commented the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
