Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered many other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative said the incident rendered him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
