Local Police
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack made him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
