Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the incident rendered him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
