Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism made him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
