Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests show the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior political figure said the attack left him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
