Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident rendered him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
