Local Police
Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then located multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
