Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
