Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
An important official said the vandalism made him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
