Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
An important official commented the attack left him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
