Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior representative stated the incident rendered him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the killing of nine people by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in 2020.
