Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.
An important official said the incident rendered him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
