Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important representative commented the vandalism left him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
