Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important political figure said the attack made him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
