Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located many other marked cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the incident rendered him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
