Area Police
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police state early analysis indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important official said the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
