Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack made him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
