Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A senior representative stated the incident rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
