Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile 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 stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important official commented the attack left him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
