Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure stated the vandalism made him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
