Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important representative commented the incident left him stunned and had to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
