Area Police
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.
An important political figure said the vandalism made him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
