Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Police report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior political figure stated the incident rendered him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
