Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior representative said the vandalism made him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
