Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis show the substance was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking official commented the attack rendered him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
