Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior representative said the attack left him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
