Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found multiple other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official said the attack rendered him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
