Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then found numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior representative said the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
