Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism left him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
