Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack rendered him speechless and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
