Area Police
Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack left him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
