Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure stated the attack rendered him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
