Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
An important political figure said the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
