Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
