Area Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for information.
An important official commented the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
