Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis show the fluid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important political figure commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
