Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then located many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior representative said the attack made him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of migrant background in five years prior.
