Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests show the substance was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important representative stated the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
