Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they added.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior political figure stated the incident rendered him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in 2020.
