Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found many other marked cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important political figure commented the incident left him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
