Local Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism left him without words and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
