Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior official commented the incident left him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
