Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important representative stated the attack left him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
