Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
