Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to resolve the case" and have asked to the public for details.
An important official commented the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
