Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
