Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior political figure said the incident left him stunned and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
