Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the incident rendered him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine people by a shooter targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
