Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.
A senior representative said the attack made him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
