Area Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior official stated the attack left him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
