Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations indicate the substance was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
An important official commented the attack left him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
