Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident made him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
