Area Police
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located multiple other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior political figure stated the attack made him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
