Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then located many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the incident made him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
