Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack left him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
