Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking official stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
