Local Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior representative stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in 2020.
