Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then found numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking official said the attack made him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in 2020.
