Local Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
