Area Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then found many other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior official stated the attack made him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
