Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then found many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior representative said the attack rendered him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
