Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack left him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
