Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior political figure commented the attack made him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
