Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found multiple other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations show the substance was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
An important representative said the attack rendered him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
