Local Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations show the liquid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism left him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
