Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then discovered many other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important official commented the vandalism made him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
