Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
City officials said they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important political figure said the incident made him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in 2020.
