Local Police
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking official commented the attack left him stunned and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
