Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located many other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior political figure commented the incident made him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
