Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
