Local Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located many other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for information.
An important representative stated the incident left him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in 2020.
