Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
An important official said the vandalism left him speechless and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
