Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative said the incident rendered him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
