Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
An important official stated the attack left him without words and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
