Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior political figure said the attack made him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
