Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior representative stated the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in 2020.
