Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the liquid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure stated the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at people of migrant background in 2020.
