Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
An important official commented the attack rendered him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
