Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests show the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
An important official stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
