Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the substance was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking representative said the attack made him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
