Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior official stated the attack left him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
