Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior official stated the attack rendered him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
