Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important representative commented the vandalism made him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
