Local Police
Around fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Police then found multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important official stated the vandalism left him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
