Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack made him without words and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
