Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
An important official said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
