Local Law Enforcement

Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.

Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.

Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.

The fluid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.

Police then discovered numerous other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.

"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.

City officials announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.

A high-ranking political figure stated the incident rendered him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.

"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
