Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack made him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
