Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for tips.
A senior representative stated the incident rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
