Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
A senior political figure commented the attack rendered him speechless and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
