Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the attack made him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
