Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located many other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important political figure stated the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
