Area Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior representative commented the incident left him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
