Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then located numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior representative stated the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
