Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking official said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
