Police stated they were contacted by a man who found a automobile in Hanau smeared with reddish liquid

Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.

Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.

Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.

The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.

Officers then located numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human blood.

"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.

Local authorities stated they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.

A senior political figure stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be addressed quickly.

"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
