Local Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations show the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
