Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars 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.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important political figure commented the attack left him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in 2020.
