Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism made him without words and had to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
