Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
