Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for details.
A senior representative said the attack left him without words and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
