Local Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking official stated the incident left him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of migrant background in February 2020.
