Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the community for information.
A high-ranking official said the attack made him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
