Local Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior representative said the incident left him without words and had to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
