Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure commented the incident left him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
