Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis indicate the fluid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism made him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
