Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state early analysis suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
