Local Police
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important official said the incident made him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
