Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
An important political figure commented the incident left him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
