Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then found numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A senior representative said the incident made him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
