Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
An important political figure commented the attack made him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
