Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior political figure said the attack left him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in 2020.
