Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
An important representative said the attack left him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
