Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack made him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
