Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located many other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
An important representative stated the attack rendered him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
