Area Police
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other smeared cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they added.
City officials said they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior official said the incident rendered him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
