Local Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis suggest the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important official said the attack left him speechless and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
