Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located multiple other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
