Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important official stated the vandalism made him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
