Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official said the incident left him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
