Area Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative stated the incident rendered him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
