Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located many other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
