Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
An important political figure stated the attack made him without words and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
