Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found many other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the incident left him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
