Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior political figure commented the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
