Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative said the incident left him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
