Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking official said the incident left him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
