Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack left him speechless and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
