Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located multiple other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important representative commented the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
