Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located many other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for details.
An important political figure said the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
