Local Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
