Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important official stated the incident left him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
