Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important representative stated the incident left him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
