Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior official commented the incident rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
