Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important political figure said the incident made him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
