Local Police
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the liquid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
