Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack left him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
