Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior official commented the attack left him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
