Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis show the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
A senior representative commented the incident made him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
