Area Police
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
