Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
A senior official said the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
