Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.
An important official stated the attack rendered him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
