Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state initial examinations show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the attack made him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
