Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the incident made him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
