Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis show the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
An important official stated the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
