Local Police
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure stated the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
