Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located many other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior representative stated the incident made him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
