Local Police
Around 50 vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure stated the incident rendered him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in five years prior.
