Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
An important political figure commented the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
