Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior representative said the incident rendered him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
