Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
An important official commented the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of migrant background in February 2020.
