Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important political figure commented the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
