Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A high-ranking official said the attack made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
