Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations show the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important political figure said the attack rendered him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
