Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then located many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior political figure stated the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
