Area Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then found numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior representative commented the attack made him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in 2020.
