Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior representative commented the incident rendered him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
