Police mentioned they were contacted by a individual who discovered a automobile in Hanau marked with reddish liquid

Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.

Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.

The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.

Police then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement say initial examinations show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.

Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.

A high-ranking official commented the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.

"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
