Local Police
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking official said the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
