Local Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests show the substance was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior official stated the attack left him speechless and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
