Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior official stated the vandalism left him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
