Area Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests show the fluid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack left him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
