Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism left him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
