Local Police
Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations show the substance was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior official commented the attack rendered him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
